According to software testing solutions, the best approach to follow to do automation with Selenium & Python would be going through Python basics first and then basic selenium commands and then learning as per the below mentioned plan in sequence:-

Example of basic Automation using Selenium and Python is as follows:-

###########################################
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver = webdriver.Chrome('./chromedriver')
driver.get("https://www.python.org")
print(driver.title)
search_bar = driver.find_element_by_name("q")
search_bar.clear()
search_bar.send_keys("getting started with python")
search_bar.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
print(driver.current_url)
driver.close()

###########################################

After this, you can go through the below mentioned topics to learn Python+Selenium(You can go through tutorials on Udemy too):-

• Different types of locators in webdriver API.
• Techniques to automate web elements.
• Synchronization(Implicit & Explicit waits).
• Handling Child windows,frames & Mouse actions.

Then for the frameworks, you can try the following:-

• PyTest for Unit Testing.
• Behave for BDD testing.
• Requests for API testing.
• NumPy for data science and electrical engineering tesing.
• PDFMiner to extract data from PDF files.
• Openpyxl to deal with excel data.
